A guide to marine mollusks pictures and describes a variety of species ( )

This is a fun informational book about seashells. It is set up so you can find your region of North America and look for the shell you have found. I recognized most of the shells and learned that a shell I recently found in Santa Cruz was a type of limpet. My two favorites from this book, neither of which I had heard about before, were the kitten's paw (found on the Atlantic coast on rocky shores and pools and first discovered in 1801), and the long-spined star shell (found in southwestern Florida and first discovered in 1798). I often wonder about the shells I find in different areas, and this would be a fun reference book to have on hand when looking through the shells I have found. ( )
